Kinda like we did w/ the Bassholes record last year, we'll have a special run of the Build a Raft re-issue records for this show. There will be 35 limited ed. copies for sale w/ a Gibson Bros. zine and rare 4x6 photos from the grade school gig.

Is it too much to ask for one of you guys to hold one for me, or is it first come first serve battle royal style this time around?

Guess what? Our awesome sponsor BenCo Presents is offering $2 off ticket price to our official after party with Ted Leo to anybody who pays admission at the PLBO! Thanks Benco!

psst. PLBO 5 is tomorrow!

not to be a complete dick

1. but ya kind of have to offer a discount when you have The Oblivions and The Cheater Slickson the same stage @ Bourbon Street as the "unofficial" after party. Seriously... Ted Leo you can do that anytime.

2.what exactly makes the skully's show the "official" after party show?

3. what level of sponsorship does one have to obtain($$$) to get his/her/their own "official" parking lot blow out after party gig listed as the "offical" after party gig?

4. How can the Never Ending Compilation sponsor future events?

5. Is this gonna be one of those "comfest " things where you have to do a magic hat dance or something ( i.e.:cut Marc Fishers grass with a push mower?) to get yr. business or band included in future events.

I passed the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile on US30 coming in, a fitting prelude, I thought. Arrived just before the Turks went on. Not telling you where I parked!

Turks were good, which I expected. It was cool that Eric ran across the alley mid-song to greet the "crusty punks" along the post office wall. I didn't realize until they were done that about half the people in the whole place were Turks fans, who left after their set. Turks all looked like they hadda bucket o' water dumped on them by the end.

Gibsons I wrote about in their thread.

Scrawl was awesome, they didn't seem to miss anything from however many years it's been since they quit. Jovan = da man, seriously. Couldn't have been that many practices to learn all those songs.A beautiful night, thanks to all the CMC and volunteers for making it happen.

Kids.

I was standing with tka during the Turks set. He was worried about getting close enough for the Gibson Brothers. I told him that as soon as the Turks were done, we'd move right up to the front. And then we did.

Yep, sound problems during Gibson Bros, and yes, they were enjoying themselves despite it. I remember Dan and Don exchanging grins during one song. There were lots of smiles and hugs all night long. Heart-warming and rockin'. Thanks, CMC, for one heck of a party!

But that didn't matter. Great vibe all around. Great price (free or $5? crazy!). Great drinks (for me I'm talking about the near endless supply of free Vitamin water). Great location. Great weather. Great glimpses of (now) greyed hair old farts and of crushes that I realize will last my entire life. Great songs that I will never get tired of hearing.
